Meet Henry Wilt. Professionally overlooked. Demoralised at home. Passed over for promotion yet again. At work, he faces yet more years of trying to force literature into the heads of students who'd rather be anywhere else. At home, his irrepressible wife Eva throws herself into one obsession after another, while Wilt's patience wears thinner by the day. But if he can do nothing about his job, perhaps he can do something about his wife. As each day passes, his fantasies grow more murderous and more real. Tom Sharpe
